Greece: Mystery of rare 8.6m limousine found abandoned in mountains


A photo of a rare car abandoned in a Greek mountain village has been posted on social media, sparking debate about its origins and rumors about how it got there.

An “otherworldly” image of the Karditsa mountains has flooded the internet in recent days. A Lincoln Town Car limousine, a symbol of wealth and the American dream, was found abandoned on the outskirts of the village. Its photo, posted on social media, immediately went viral, sparking a wave of questions and theories.

The public asked: “How did this rare car, associated with the lives of the rich and famous, as well as the red carpets of the world's film screenings, end up in such a remote and deserted place? Who took it there and why left it to its fate, unprotected from the elements and the ravages of time?

However, the interior of the limousine hides other secrets. Between the luxurious leather seats and the remnants of another era, Minions dolls from the famous cartoon were found scattered around, creating a surreal contrast.

According to many internet users, this particular limousine was located in Kastella, Piraeus, near a bowling center, until a few years ago. Many say that its owner is from Kriopigi Karditsa, where the car is located, and he moved it there, leaving it in the open air.

From the photos we understand that this is probably a pre-facelift 3rd generation Lincoln Town Car limousine, produced between 1998 and 2002, with a 4.6-liter V8 engine under the hood, producing 220 hp. This generation of cars is known for its comfort, luxury and reliability, and was usually used for VIP transportation, weddings, parties and other special occasions.

Although netizens seem to have solved the mystery of how such a car ended up in a mountain village in Greece, the information has not been officially confirmed. However, even if the true story of this abandoned limo is unknown, it can certainly become a tourist attraction in the area.
